Humnava Mere
Jubin Nautiyal
My Companion
It's been years since we parted
now you're not by my side
then why does it feel like
wherever I am, you are there too
what should I do with my fingers
should I sketch someone’s face
it’s only yours that comes to mind
is this just my madness
or were you crazy for me too
yesterday on the road I found sorrow
I hugged it tight and cried
what was only mine, only mine
why did I let it slip away
yeah, those eyes that I used to
kiss for no reason
why is there no love
left in them anymore
my companion
if you’re here, my breath flows
tell me how I’ll live
without you
oh my companion
if you’re here, my breath flows
tell me how I’ll live
without you
every moment that torments my heart
that void is you
I don’t even know
why you’re so essential to me
sleepless nights have passed
how many nights have gone by
counted so many stars
that my fingers burned
my companion
if you’re here, my breath flows
tell me how I’ll live
without you
oh my companion
if you’re here, my breath flows
tell me how I’ll live
without you
you’re the last tear, oh dear
you’re the last of my sorrow
where is my heart now
that I can give it to someone else
I didn’t share my evenings
with anyone else
I loved even without you
I only loved you
my companion
if you’re here, my breath flows
tell me how I’ll live
without you
oh
don’t let distance come between us
I’m your refuge
tell me how I’ll live
without you
why are you testing me
come to me from wherever you are
how will I live without you
the heartbeats in my chest
are for your name
how will I live without you
I found the answer
I wasn’t anywhere in your life
yet I was your life
I wasn’t the only one crazy for you
you were too
my companion
if you’re here, my breath flows
tell me how I’ll live
without you
